Bug Description
Today, I have used direct connect for the first time, and wondered what client I should use. After investigating for some time, I've reached the conclusion that linuxdcpp was probably the best option, but after installing it I have to recognise I was pretty confused until I managed to find out what exactly I could do, and how.
I have seen this other client, dcsharp, which seems to be dead now. But the interface is really simple. The sidebar allows you to reach the different places you can be: the search, the hubs and the conversations, as well as keep an eye on things being uploaded and downloaded. You can access all that information easily, but it never gets in the way or make the screen feel "crammed".
I'm attaching a couple screenshots of dcsharp.
Not really sure what you're trying to say. You seem to be suggesting that we make our interface like dcsharp without specifying explicitly what interface features you like about dcsharp besides the sidebar. If it's just the sidebar you want, linuxdcpp can do that: Preferences -> Appearances -> Tab Position -> Left. We're open to suggestions on how we can improve the interface, we just need more concrete examples of what you'd like to see.
